If he wasn't playing in that disgusting yellow, he would be exactly the type of player we would be in for as a club coming down a division. Proven goal scorer at that level, playing for an absolute nothing club on the decline.
He will be off for sure but the optics of them selling to us would never happen I guess. Would not be surprised if a Leeds type look at him though, he certainly knows where the net is and will be looking to play in his home world cup.

Looked a player?
He has looked a clown whenever I have seen him!
In all fairness, he scores goals. If he could stay fit he would be a very good player and he clearly makes a big difference to them when he plays. No good to anyone sitting on the treatment table and that is why they probably won't be able to get good value for him either. |
Could say exactly the same about Hirst and everyone will be desperate to keep him (which we obviously will). | | | |

130 appearances in 4 years for Norwich, including one season which hasn't yet finished, and another season when he was very young and playing in the Premier League. That is not exactly sick note territory.
In fact it's more than Kieffer Moore has played across four clubs in the same time. It's also more than Hirst has played across three clubs in the same time (and not making allowances for the fact that many of those were as a sub).
Freddie Ladapo has 19% more appearances across the same four seasons. Maybe getting him back is the answer. Except that Sargent has more starts. His record of starting games over the last 4 years seems better to me than any striker we've had in that time. I'm happy to be corrected if someone wants to look at the reality rather than some lazy hearsay about the fact that this guy has had an injury.
Either way, half a striker is not even an attempt at objectivity. Although I suppose it's better than saying we shouldn't sign him because he's a Budgie (as if a guy whose youth football was played in Missouri, Florida and Germany would have some intractable attachment to Norfolk). |
Yeah I seem to have accumulated quite a few downvotes despite even clarifying he’s “the type of striker we’d be after if he wasn’t playing for Norwich”.
It’s a shame he is because he’d be towards top of the list if not I think. Playing for a nothing mid table club out of parachute money and a proven goal scorer that would suit our system.
A promoted team may take a punt anyway but can’t see them picking up the phone to us regardless. | | | |

Nobody will have sufficient interest in Hirst to pay what we would sell him for. Which is kind of the point, except nodge might have to take the money in their case. And, no, Hirst doesn't look like a clown. |  |

I bow to your superior knowledge on the matter - I'm not well up on budgie starting stats, but I thought it was fairly well established that he was injury-prone and had missed a lot of games. Unless I'm thinking of the other one, Sainz?
(You're not his agent are you?  )
I do agree he's the ideal type of striker for our group of number 9s, and if he's not the sick note I thought he was, then yes, I'd be keen.
By 'half a striker' I wasn't impugning his ability, more that I was saying that I assumed (lazily) that he'd be out half the season, based as you say on hearsay. |  |

Your assessment of Sargents’s injury recorded isn’t entirely misplaced. He missed the first half of last season, and 2 months this season at the end of last year.
The budgie’s view of him in recent seasons is very injury prone, with it having seriously impacted their results.

He’s a decent number 9, but we don’t need a striker who is out for a third or possibly half of the season. Maybe he’s been particularly unlucky the past 2 seasons, or maybe he’s now more vulnerable. |  | | |
